MF HUSSAIN - THE PAINTER OF HORSES

The look of an angel
With long fingers
The nonagenarian
The horse painter

The non conformist
With a creative air
Deft strokes producing
Peerless pictures

The weathered wall painter
With abstracts of modernity
So prolific on canvass
Thousands in numbers

The ladies’ man
With plenty of muses
Superstars to Socialites
To lap up adulation

No compromise
With artistic freedom
The proud man
Forced to flee

A thankless world
With nimble memories
A cruel world of
Religious fanatics

Toothless law
With no security
Fleeing to end
His Life offshore

He will be back
With Posthumous fame
The shoeless fakir
For a shameless country to claim
